We said: Metz 1-3 Marseille

Marseille's dismal away record and ongoing shortcomings at the back could offer Metz some optimism of a shock result this Friday, and we would not put it past Boloni's men to prolong the visitors' streak without a clean sheet. The hosts' own defensive record does not inspire confidence, though, and a refreshed Marseille team should have no trouble getting back on track to remain perfect in Ligue 1. Read more.
